WHO KILLED PROFESSOR RAY BELLWETHER? Some sociopathic graduate student, disgruntled over prelims? A jealous colleague? Unhappy lover? The police want answers. So does a motley crew of inebriated grad students, eager to play detective. And so does Ray Bellwether, who hasn't been able to catch forty winks since being murdered. Ray doesn't yet know the rules for ghosts, but he's pretty sure he's supposed to be haunting his murderer if he could only figure out who that is. As he sets forth in gossamer form to track down the unknown fiend who did him in, Professor Bellwether is swept onto curious landscapes, and encounters some equally curious fellow mathematicians, living, dead, and marginal, who join him in the quest A TALE OF INTRIGUE AND MURDER IN THEDEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
